    Step-by-Step Guide for Completing Each Section


    For Each Disease Type (Airborne, Waterborne, etc.), Follow These Steps:


    1. Identify the Disease

    • 1A. Common Name: Use what the public typically calls it (e.g., “Tuberculosis”).

    • 1B. Scientific Name: Use the medical term used in research and reporting.

    2. Identify the Organism

    • 2A. Scientific Name of the Pathogen: Find the actual microbe that causes the disease (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis).

    • 2B. Classification: Is the pathogen bacterial, viral, fungal, or another type?


    3. Explain How It’s Transmitted

    • Provide a general overview (e.g., “through the air”).

    • Then give a specific example (e.g., “by inhaling respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs”).


    4. Describe the Recommended Treatment

    • Identify medical treatments such as antibiotics, antivirals, hydration, or supportive care.

    • State whether the disease is treatable or manageable.


    5. Community-Level Prevention (List 3 Strategies)

    For example:

    • A. Increase public education on hygiene and sanitation.

    • B. Provide free vaccination clinics or testing stations.

    • C. Improve infrastructure to reduce transmission (e.g., better water filtration systems or pest control).


    6. Geodemographic Map

    • 6A. Insert a recent map showing the disease’s presence or trends in the U.S. (from the CDC or similar).

    • 6B. Cite the source in APA format (e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [Year]. Title. URL).


    7–9. Personal and Governmental Action

    • 7. Protecting Friends and Family: What can you do at home (e.g., encouraging vaccination, using safe food practices)?

    • 8. Protecting Yourself: Focus on prevention, awareness, and behaviors.

    • 9. Government Protection: What should the federal government do? (E.g., funding research, issuing health alerts, regulating industries.)


    10. Gender-Specific Challenges

    • Discuss how gender roles, access to care, or social stigma can affect disease prevention or treatment.

    • Consider gender disparities in healthcare or societal expectations that may make it harder for one gender to seek treatment.


    ✅ Final Reminders:

    • Use only U.S. government websites like CDC.gov, NIH.gov, or HHS.gov for research.

    • Use maps and data published within the last 3 years when possible.

    • Make sure each section is complete before moving to the next.

    • Keep language clear and formal — this will go in your ePortfolio.
